Tool Open source
cairn is a self-hosted directory page for people who use services hosted by someone else, rather than an administration dashboard. It presents tools grouped by purpose with welcome notes, one-sentence descriptions, optional detail pages, service-status indicators linked to status pages, lifecycle labels, browser-language selection with a manual switcher, and search across names, descriptions, and tags. Its server performs status polling so visitors' browsers do not, and features degrade without JavaScript.
Operators configure it with a read-only YAML file that applies changes live and reports configuration errors with the file, line, and expected shape. It is distributed as a static binary with no runtime dependencies or database, can serve legal pages written in Markdown, and supports deployment on a domain, subdomain, or sub-path. The interface includes responsive, keyboard-friendly, multilingual, right-to-left, and stated WCAG AA-oriented accessibility features.
